If I could be serious for a moment I do think that they had a good character with A-Ri currently, as the guy who was brought in during the "models and bodybuilder" era who is seeing all these Average Joe workhorses come in and taking his spot and wondering what the f*** happened. I think it has less to do with "his spot" or "average Joe looking guys" and more to do with the fact that he got straight up written off As having no talent just because he just happened to come up in that era where Talent Relations and developmental sucked. Riley was a fairly decent workhorse in his own right and busted his ass to be the best worker he could be. Not great, obviously nowhere near the Indy dudes' level, but a hell of an athlete in spite of his muscular build and arguably one of the better pure in-ring workers out of the "Clone Army" types. Like it pisses him off that he gets unfairly lumped in with the Nathan Jones, melty dude, or that guy who murdered his girlfriend. Dude...like I've said before (and I'm actually amazed that I have to say this again)....every time A-Ri's name is mentioned, you are drawn to it like catnip and your comments open yourself up to ridicule, and threads being locked. Not to be an ass, but for your sake, stay away from this thread until all the hoopla dies down. If you continue to be you, you might end up getting yourself suspended or (worse case scenario) banned from this website. Tread safely dude...

I would post in this thread regardless of Riley. No has made any "negative comments" and everyone has been able to stay civil.

How long before the Drifter catches an El Kabong?

Nakamura/Riley went exactly the way I wanted it to. It was glorious.

I'll say my final piece on Alex Riley. I've picked on him a lot. I've always thought he was a great wrestler. I think he blew his opportunity when he got a DUI during his run with the Miz. He never got a break after that. He was a terrible terrible terrible announcer on NXT. His comeback run was OK but the ship had clearly sailed by that point. I won't miss really him, but hope he finds success elsewhere.
As for the show this week, it was ok. You got Nakamura and Balor on the show doing their signature stuff which is great. I can't stand The Drifter, but I guess that's the point. Alexa Bliss was looking fine as usual. She should get called up soon, imo. Austin Aries went into Regal's office wanting to make a splash and left happy he got a tag match against Blake and Murphy? Um... ok. I do wonder who his partner will be. Aries saying he had to make a call leads me to thing they will bring in someone from outside NXT, which is exciting. Final thought: that Bailey/Jax promo was brutal. Please assign Nia Jax an acting coach.

To not call it 'Rage, rage, against the dying of A-Ri' is a missed opportunity.

I laughed at
"You didn't even have the decency to bring Alexa Bliss with you!" "we're not rude!"
And Alexa walks into frame.

How long before the Drifter catches an El Kabong? This is the burning question I ask every week. We need a thread questioning the lack of this, I think.

I love Elias Samson. And I want Balor to murder him, so job well done! Still very "meh" on EY... New interview girl is very attractive. Hollis and Skyler have matching vests. Maybe they'll be the next Mechanics/Revival (probably not. The world needs jobbers too!) I really don't like AmAlpha's attire JJ's genuine smile is infectious. JJ is a fxxxing monster. I want him and Lesnar in an eventual suplex-off. Omg. Give Shinsuke all the titles. Now. And I'll say it. Despite him seemingly being a massive toolbox outside of the ring, I'll miss delusional NXT loser Riley. Nakamura simply fascinates me like no other wrestler I can ever remember. He's captivating in every way. Graves yelling KINSHASA as the exclamation point is excellent. The Most Average Man That Ever Lived. Both Blake and Murphy are both more entertaining. Not enough stupid is going on with Blake's hair or overall appearance. Not impressed by the ladies match. I do find it funny Alexa Bliss' evil finisher is still called "The Sparkle Splash" Dean showed us how extreme he is at WrestleMania (aka not really extreme at all) That pink floral scarf that Drifter has added to his entrance attire really pulls his entire look together. God bless Graves calling attention to it. I love his commentary. They have the "BALOR CLUB" logo and merch ready to go. They have to, HAVE TO, be doing something with Balor and the lameass "The Club" on the main roster in the near future, right? Whenever I whine and complain about letting my subscription run out and not keep the network when Roman Reigns pisses me off, I'm not thinking about NXT. I can't give up NXT. It's the only wrestling I watch and thoroughly enjoy. Balor's apron punt should be a death move. Nice pin, Balor. I dig The Drifter. Hopefully Joe's head doesn't explode 30 seconds into their rematch. I want to watch them stiff the shit out of each other for a full proper match. "THE LINE" Finn Balor is as good a nickname as "THE HUMAN FENCE" Bam Neely. It's insane seeing Samoa Joe as the champ in a WWE promotion. Beautiful. And I can't wait to get my Mattel Elite fig! It's nice to see firey Balor. He doesn't differentiate much from whitebread vanilla to "Grrrr I'm a demon"
